Who Is the Home Eye Examination Suitable For? 

Anyone who prefers a thorough, private eye exam by a senior ophthalmologist (M.D.) in the comfort of their own home, in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas.

The exam is also fully suitable for individuals with limited mobility.

What Does the Home Eye Exam Include? 

The doctor arrives at the patient's home with portable, high-end medical equipment, including a portable slit-lamp microscope for evaluating the front part of the eye, a tonometer to measure intraocular pressure, and an ophthalmoscope for examining the back of the eye (cataract, retina and optic nerve).

During the visit, a comprehensive medical history is taken to review the patient's overall health and the specific reason for consultation. The doctor then performs the necessary clinical evaluations. In some cases, pupil dilation using eye drops may be required (causing mild-to-moderate blurred vision that subsides after about 5 hours).

Following the evaluation, the doctor provides recommendations for further workup or management (including prescriptions) when required.

What is Not Included in the Home Eye Exam?

The examination does not include eyeglass prescriptions or driver's license vision certifications (these are performed by optometrists).
